The Atmospheric Informatics Laboratory, or AI-Lab, operates under the affiliation of the Center for Computational Sciences (CCS), University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. 

AI Lab's primary mission is to explore the “next paradigm” of atmospheric science by integrating the latest advancements in data science, such as artificial intelligence (AI), data mining, and numerical modeling techniques, to advance the explainability and predictability of the atmospheric system, with a focus on extreme weather and climate events that happen at regional or city scales, particular under the context of global climate change (see our latest activities update).

AI Lab is the host or member of several international research initiatives sponsored by the World Climate Research Program (World Meteorological Organization), including My Climate Risk, the CORDEX Task Force on Machine Learning, CORDEX Flagship Pilots Studies URB-RCC, CORDEX SEA.  The head of the AI-Lab, Doan QV is currently serving as the lead author of the IPCC Special Report on Climate Change and Cities.

1 st year master students John Harrington and Koki Nakamura presented their undergraduate thesis research work in the Meteorological Society of Japan 2025 Spring Meeting.

A/Prof Doan has been appointed as a lead author for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Climate Change and Cities. He is one of just four lead authors from Japan and among 100 global experts from 50 countries selected to contribute to the IPCC Special Report.
